    Is there continuity? 

    1. YES  - Go to step  28.
    2. NO  - Repair open in the wire between the PCM (A27) and the engine mount control unit (No. 15), then go to step 23.
  23. Reconnect all connectors.
  24. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
  25. Reset the PCM with the HDS.
  26. Do the PCM idle learn procedure (see PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE ).
  27. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

    Are any Temporary DTCs or DTCs indicated? 

    1. YES  - If DTC P15AF is indicated, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the PCM and the engine mount control unit, then go to step  1. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.
    2. NO  - Troubleshooting is complete.
  28. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM (see PCM UPDATING AND SUBSTITUTION FOR TESTING ).
  29. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

    Are any Temporary DTCs or DTCs indicated? 

    1. YES  - If DTC P15AF is indicated, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the PCM and the engine mount control unit, then go to step  1. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.
